'i'lie quiet inhabitants of an English country town have been furnished with matter of complaint for months, by the mere transit of a regiment of militia. .Sol diers have been denounced as positive jtests, for entering the houses where they had been liiietted, without scraping their j feet ; anti their clothes smeihng ol winy tobacco, was hardly endurable. W hat, would our delicate-minded friends have ; said, if their town had been in the route of a Russian division, when their houses! would be no longer their own—when it i would require all their address to secure themselves from insult and disgrace, and j their property from destruction ! It has been my fortune to witness n fetv scenes attendant on military occupation—appa ling scenes they were, many of them 1 some, indeed, though unpleasant enough, j vet possessing a spteeol t ic ludi—* o..s. Falling into possession ol a large pro jicrty in Germany, not a very great dis- 1 tance from Helps;:; and being pleased; with its situation and advantages, 1 became naturalized in tiie country, and resided on my estate. lam speaking now o! a period anterior to the las* great war. i: witnessed the triumphant march ol lii<* ■ Corsican conqueror, with his glittering ar rav of hundreds of thousands, into the land j of’the Muscovite— and Jsuii' sane of them . I beh< ■ sic, and saw the fair fields ol Germany covered with the locust swarm ol barba rian victors ! _ j The house belonging to my estate might! be called a chateau ; for it was large c nough for the occupation of a nobleman's | retinue, ami possessed all the ad van tag n ft.:site, foaictimcs, liowevcr, I have; found it too small for my numerous guests;. fort recollect once hav. ng_ eighty-eighi | men quartered upon me, v.ath three ofii. c.ers >. Ot course I shared in this kind of lavo: s with the rest of my neighbors, and contrived to get over them as decently as possible. VS ill* the French i had but lit tle difficulty ; but with the Russians—God protect me from the Russians!—The for mer came as enemies, the latter as friends yet rather would 1 welcome fifty such foes, than claim one such ally. On one occasion it happened, that for some tune we had been tolerably quiet: and, remote as we were, knowing little of what was passing in the great world, wo begaut lent :rtain hop:s of i e>nsiierable respite. I promised myself a few ways ! shooting, as a holiday: surd leaving my i house to my steward, jieiiiarJ. and taking will: me a tailhful servant,! set out on my i expedition. .Many hours, however, had I ~u t elapsed since our departure, w hen the I attention of my man was excited by tne i aopcaranec of a body of cavalry in the 1 ilistance. " c watched them attentively, :l nd found they had debouched from a path in the wood, and entered on the high ! Presently a second squadron ad ! proceeded at once to disperse adjacent villages, i now bt> it high time to return, as i ' 1 • ••••• <•) t • ■ ■-■■ i c t < i S>IILLE&aEVM£,X,E, U'£i&JVJSS£*^ 5* OCT&SSEZZ, 30, JS33. i The first object I encountered, o:i nearing home, was a group of j> isants, armed with muskets, scythes, and implements of a'd kinds, making their way towards the village. No sooner did they s e me, than they insisted tint I should t ike the com mand, and drive “those French thieves” from their houses. 1 found that a regi ment of cavalry had taken possession of the village; and no on: being able to speak French, the soldiers had become impatient, and were helping themselves without much ceremony, i q noted the enraged people as well as 1 could; t -lling them that open violence would only bring upon rhem certain destruction; aii 1 pro ceeded with all speed to my dwelling, fol lowed by my rustic neighbours. 'J lie first person 1 met was my steward, Bel Hard, who, with tears and lamentation >, informed me that the people had been des patched for mo in all quarters —that lit j,■ was tlu worst lot that we had yet had— dial they were committing ail manner of atrocities; —and he finished his consoling narrative by informing me, that the cap tain and twenty-eight meu had done me the honor to quarter themselves upon my premises, fie had, morever, been favored with sundry lashes from the captain, be cause he would only* give him tiie com- I mon wine for hisdinner. I was somewhat | incensed at this part of the story, and I said, if the French were so determined on I such a course. 1 would at ouce head the people, and drive than out. 'ifo; resolu tion was hailed, with cheers by the villa gers, and forthwith they began to form themselvesia order of battle, ready toast whenever l should give the signal. The dragoons hearing tins commotion, rushed from all parts to learn the cause ; and i, armed with my fowling piece, made my way into my house, to confront the cap tain. Here a pleasant scene presented it self. The hall was strewed with saddles and! j horse-equipments ; chairs and tables were j i topsy-turvy, and two dragoons were liar- j tying across, one armed with a pistol and ; la crow-bar, and the other holding a light. ! No sooner did they pi reeive me. titan one i j exclaimed, “Ah! coehcu! que tu es-t’arrive, | ,ala bonne h ure. Wc were just :ib >ut ito blow off the lock of your wine-cellar.” j 1 Before I could reply,ho continued, “Is this! ! the way to conduct yourself, when mifita-l ry gentlemen do you the honor to take to! , your house ?—to absent yourself, and j ; .cave them nothingbut Sour German wind! ; SaCre matin ! if 1 were the captain, I’d fire j your hovel, with you tied to the rafters. ; j “.Silence, you ruffian !” I cried exasper ated beyond endurance, “do you think 1 keep an hotel for brigands !

His bullet passed through the pannelled partition, and the report was followed by a most diabolical ’ explosion of oaths and curs •*. mix ■ l with ’ the crash of glasses, aai oversetting oi furniture. I had already seized the other 1 ruffian, and thrown him a severe fall on the stone floor, when ' beheld some 18 or j dO dragoons, with their sabres drawn, j rushing up the fright oi steps which led loj the hall, closely followed by the peasantry, j l snatched up my fowling-piece, and in another moment havoc would have been; let slip amongst “the dogs of war,” when ' the door leading into tiie hall swung open,! and in stalked ’die c plain. “Sucre tonnerre!” cried he, as lie glan ced at tiie seen", “what,in the devii’s name ; is all this about.'” Ills appearance seemed to check the inele about to commence. He was a tali. ( the very type of a French adventurer 01, the Napoleon school. “Ye cursed ca-i naiile !” lie continued in a voice of thunder, j “ can’t a gentleman take a glass of beg-! gariv wine in ocacc, but you must fire at j him through the wainscot ? Who is this j man ?” pointing to me with Ins sabre. “The master of tiie house,’’ growled! one of my kite antagonists ; “ a dog of an, Englishman 1” _ j “.Monsieur,” said the Captain, civilly; dropping the point, “if you arc an Eng-j lishman, I have had the honor to cross 1 blades with gentlemen of your country ; and I must say, I’ve always found them j brave solids ;*and that’s more than 1 can 1 1 sav for the c annaille Goseque, or the cine os J’russes ; but l do consider you li tre been J I guilty of putting upon me a personal af-| | front, by allowing me to drink this cursed .

Now, what is the result of all this ?—tho ! client is awarded 10s. and all his costs in ( the cause are to be paid by his opponent; but then comes tho extra costs. “as bc tween Attorney cml Client ,” which tho successful party has to disburse himself; and thus, after having received a sound thrashing:, fur which tiie action is brought, ; and endured many months of uneasiness, nc finds himself minus nt least, notwith standing itis damages, of some six or eight pounds ten ! —a great deal more, or a trifiy less, as it may happen. Such is the mode in which cases arc* too frequently conducted; the advocate, who has, probably, never looked into his brief until the moment when lie should be thoroughly acquainted with its contents, under the pretence, that in attempting to prove all, lie may prove too much, rejects the most important part ot tho plaintiff's testimony, and calls just sufficient to estab lish a mere legal claim to a verdict, reck less alike of tiie feelings and tiie interest of his client, both of which are in soma measure, in actions like the above, commit ted to his discretion. The mode in which counsel conduct tho examination of a witness is too well known to need expose ; tiie pompous trickery ot >.

It is in vain for me to exclaim to my niton cy. “It was inv wish that Mr. Voluble should he Employ ed. I find in you bill of costs, ‘ Retainer to Mr. Voluble and clerk, A"! 3s (id.
